Scrotal wall necrosis after hipec using mitomycin-c: Case report and review of the literature.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionHyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a current treatment option for peritoneal carcinosis (PC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS). Genital skin alterations are rare complications reported variously after HIPEC using Mitomycin-C. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 42-year-old man with a diagnosis of stage IV colorectal cancer underwent CRS and HIPEC using mitomycin-C. On postoperative day 75, he developed scrotal wall necrosis not responding to any medical treatment. After he underwent surgery to remove the necrotic tissue and primarily suture the scrotal wound with success. DISCUSSION: Genital skins disorders are rarely drugs-related effects and few cases after HIPEC using Mitomycin-C are reported in literature. The most accepted hypothesis to explain the occurrence of scrotal ulcers after CRS and HIPEC is the extravasation reaction to Mitomycin-C that inhibits wound healing and induces skin necrosis.
conclusionCorrect diagnosis and immediate surgical debridement are the preferable management.
